V-Cut irregular size panels - how to specify?

Order #: P10-2153451A I am trying to create breakable boards consisting of 5 designs repeated in 4 panels. They all need to be individually separated with a V-Cut - that's 20 when full broken down Is this the correct way? - I have used 'mechanical layer' to specify the horizonal V-Cut and marked 'V-Cut' in the document layer.  - However the online Gerber view does not seem to include the information - See second screen capture. Have I messed up? Thanks.. ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/WAn20uOasTOaiO9o9saKmp33LS0Txl5KWxvQReja.png) <br> ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/xh51gWawXAe7bbcN7KsxVYqeEKDHuhlShyQY6XOj.png)

Try checking your Gerbers using gerbv.

Thanks for your comments.. The support and tutorials tend to suggest a mechanical layer. [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Tell-me-how-to-add-v-cut-line-without-panelizing-b92f3442a06446f1b2299e4e5c2515e3](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Tell-me-how-to-add-v-cut-line-without-panelizing-b92f3442a06446f1b2299e4e5c2515e3)<br> <br> However.. the tutorial hints it is for 'Text Labels only':  _"it is only used for text identification in JLCPCB. For example: process parameters; V cut path"_ [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Layer-Manager/](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Layer-Manager/)<br> <br> I guess we'll see.. I'll post a photo here of what comes back here as a warning to others! This is the Gerber view ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/GwGxp9CZlpATYIDeZe3zGexFDwZsuAixaVoccPzH.png) ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/FGFhoZI8K2o4iBIJxXiKxfQEhpFYmmy8zffadchm.png)

Hmmm. If you followed the EasyEDA information that says put it on the Mechanical layer but JLCPCB requires it on the Board Outline layer and so your boards come back uncut then I would advise that you contact support at EasyEDA directly. :)

@jnewcomb Hello Thank you for your time to write to us here. Please make sure that you draw the panel V-cut lines on the Board Outline layer, when you proceed to place your order please select that you have uploaded a GERBER files for a PCB panel by selecting the "Panel by Customer" option for the "Delivery Format". ![panel 1.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/RQ0Uj2bV9M2wFKqEGnPy30QfeSwDrXLuladHgSOT.png) Please consider that you need to select the "Different Design" option when you place your order, since your panel doesn't have one multiplied design. ![panel 2.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/C5ScQz3vuwE4fYUVOCBcpKOjpuYeVJ2JiAFMLGuM.png) Anything else just let us know.

@jnewcomb, Had you already submitted the order for your boards before you found this issue?

Thankyou @andyfierman I contacted JLCPCB support, quoting the already 'in production' order number. They very quickly they looked into it and moved my (incorrect) mechanical layer 'V-Cut' lines to board outline layer. To Sum up: * V-Cut lines on the board outline layer * 'V-Cut' text label on the mechanical layer * In my case I selected '5' different designs * When placing the order, state you wish to have "V-Cuts as per the board outline / mechanical layer" in the 'Notes' box (hidden at the end, use the '+' to expand) I have to say, I find @JLCPCBsupport are fantastic. Service received has regularly exceeded my expectations. You really can't get better than this: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/tJzFPV9vRtT8v53Kp6lp6XAvYr9uUi7f2ZWXAvNO.png) ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/8876JpMYvFHrlrHfnVlIcvPUsNw3jNVtgGnIBcbn.png)
